Shetland yarn?
I've got a bit of shetland wool left to spin, and I LOVE the yarn it creates, but the only shetland yarn I've seen to buy (I want some that is more consistant than what I can spin atm) is Paton's which is mostly acrylic... acrylic has its place, but that place is NOT in my stash (no offense to those who like acrylic).
Does anyone know of a company that has some affordable shetland yarn (or shetland blended with other NATURAL fibers?)?

Jamison & Smith is THE Shetland yarn company. Their site is http://www.shetland-wool-brokers.zetnet.co.uk/ and if you e-mail them, they'll tell you where you can buy their wools.
